Like... what would this ability even be other than CM2?

IM2 backed up by some CM3.

Idk im2 seems weird for that. It's not like information is changed, elation still exists and taste ofc exists in all its forms. It's just that a whole targeted range of beings can no longer taste through the act of removing their concept's tastebuds, and I do think what they're trying to show fits best with CM2.

It probably depends on the staff icl. There's other similar cases in HSR like the path of permanence changing / being manipulated into various smaller paths.
It does genuinely feel like the writing is yelling towards conceptuality and it's just being shrugged off because 'its energy' despite that being what the story is yelling about. VSBW is awkward like that ig.

Nova is a she?

Not sure why that wouldn’t fit IM2. What the concepts of a Path determine is the functionality of the Path Energy. That’s really all.

Nono. I know that’s what it’s trying for. But I also know that it’s in the intention of the writers to harmonize the idea with the quantum mysticism-esque setting of Honkai.

Because again, if Shaoji were taking the ideas incorporated into the series as they are in an isolated fashion, it’d surely scale higher. Unfortunately the way they work are altered to fit the themes of the aforementioned “setting”.

Woomy just has a genderbend kink.

No clue why the msg duplicated.

Fun side-tangent because I do feel like Shaoji and the writers have made a good framework for CM and explaining it to an audience less-powerscaly, it's just that it doesn't completely fit in with what VSBW wants with energy being CM.

i mean... Ruan Mei herself said a concept was removed

Does being energy disqualify something from having CM?

i believe its only a disqualification for Type 1 concepts IF its physical energy, otherwise its completely fine for every type
